Chapter 412 Weaklings
Caspian waved his little finger at Gilbert.
Gilbert’s face turned red with anger as Caspian was clearly insulting him. “You!“
The sudden surge of anger caused Gilbert to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Caspian shook his head as he realized that Gilbert was weaker than he expected.
Gilbert angrily stared up at Caspian. “I’m going to find a way to kill you, Caspian!”
Suddenly, a miserable scream came from below.
Nixon had knelt down on the stone steps as his legs could no longer go on.
The immense pressure emanating from the peak prevented him from standing up.
He felt that his bones were on the verge of being crushed by the immense pressure.
Caspian shook his head as he watched his two competitors lose their pare
Gilbert sighed before continuing to move upward.
Thousands of expert martial artists were flabbergasted by the sight.
The TMAA’s head elder was so overwhelmed that he had knelt down on his knees.
The men from the TMAA began to panic.
“Impossible!”
“The head elder must be just joking with us!”
“That’s right! He can’t possibly lose!”
Everyone looked at Nixon with disbelief.
Nixon felt more ashamed than ever as he faced the fact that he was the weakest among the
three of them.
He had become a joke in everyone’s eyes the moment he knelt down.
Nixon couldn’t afford to lose the race. But the truth was that losing the shining Cranesbill was nothing compared to failing his mission to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Desperate times called for desperate measures. Nixon brought out all of the herbs he had left and stuffed everything into his mouth in one go.
He slowly stood back up as his strength gradually recovered.
Caspian didn’t want to waste any more time on the two of them and continued his way up the

“This is so sad to watch. So this is the head elder of the TMAA? He just straight up knelt down on the floor! And now he’s numching on grass again! I would’ve just quietly surrendered if I were him.”
Sylvia resumed mocking the TMAA.
The people from the TMAA wanted to retort her comments, but they couldn’t manage to come up with a reply.
“What a feeble old man!” exclaimed Sylvia with contempt.
The people from the TMAA turned gloomy as Sylvia continued to mock their head elder.
Horace finally had enough and stepped up. “Who the fuck do you think you are, Sylvia? You don’t have the right to say anything about us!”
“I’m gonna do it anyway, so what?” replied Sylvia.
“Bastard! I can’t stand this bitch anymore. We need to teach her a lesson!” shouted Horace.
“Kill her!”
3,000 people from the TMAA roared out in unison.
They had never been humiliated to this extent before.
“A bunch of losers!” exclaimed Sylvia.
The TMAA was indeed a powerful organization in the eyes of the public.
But they were nothing but scraps in the eyes of Sylvia.
The people from the TMAA believed that they were invincible just because they could fare better than ordinary citizens. But if they were to join actual battlefields, they would wet their pants from fear.
Sylvia waved her hand, and hundreds of armored soldiers stepped forward.
The two forces faced off against each other in anticipation of a battle.
Horace, however, was already hiding behind his own men without anyone noticing.
“Horace, you f**king idiot!”
Nixon was furious as he realized that Horace and Sylvia were about to fight.
Starting a fight with Sylvia at this point was nothing but suicide.
They had already lost too many of their men. They would lose all chances at retrieving the Eldorian Scroll fragment if they lost them all.

But the distance was simply too far apart for Horace to hear what Nixon was saying.
Nixon looked up to find Caspian and Gilbert still making their way up to the stone stairway.
He gritted his teeth as he continued to follow them.
He had to stick it out until the very end.
The next moment, Sylvia’s and Horace’s men began to fight each other.
Caspian kept up with a steady pace and was eight steps away from the peak.
Even he had begun to feel tired.
He looked back at Gilbert to find him trembling while his entire b*dy was covered in sweat.
He then looked farther back to find Nixon climbing upward with both his hands and feet.
Caspian smiled at the both of them. “Why so slow, you two? You’re like turtles!”
They were furious, but they couldn’t refute his claims.
They wondered just how large of a gap there was between Caspian and themselves as they
realized he still seemed relatively at ease.
“Nice try, Caspian. I can tell that you’re also at your limits!” shouted Gilbert.
Gilbert didn’t believe that Caspian was truly that powerful.
Nixon added, “That’s right, Caspian! You can stop pretending now! I don’t believe you still have the strength to keep going!”
Both Nixon and Gilbert assumed that Caspian was similarly at his limit as they felt like they were already carrying a huge mountain on their backs.
Caspian suddenly laughed out loud. “Both of you are really narrow–minded.”
He then took a deep breath and utilized his entire b*dy’s strength to continue upward.
The two of them were shocked beyond relief as they watched him continue moving up.
They could only wonder if Caspian had already used all of his strength or not.
Meanwhile, the battle happening below was similarly tragic.
Hundreds of the TMAA’s people had collapsed on the floor.
The TMAA had already lost eight hundred of their fighters in less than ten minutes.
Meanwhile, Sylvia’s forces suffered only minor injuries.
The TMAA’s forces froze up from fear as Sylvia and the armored battalion under her lead
Sylvia looked at Horace and asked, “Would you like to continue?”

Horace didn’t dare to utter another word as he was afraid that Sylvia would kill him.
The entire TMAA’s forces might get wiped out if he continued to fight, and it would also similarly result in his own death.
“Chickening out already? Might as well just disband the entire TMAA while you’re at it, losers!
shouted Sylvia.
The TMAA’s men were depressed as they listened to her provocation.
They were furious, but not one of them dared to fight back.
“I’m too busy to argue with you!” said Horace as he turned away.
Sylvia suddenly lost interest in the TMAA after she watched Horace admit defeat even though she could have taken this opportunity to severely weaken the TMAA.
Both Fabian and Charles were shocked by Sylvia and the armored battalion’s might as they looked at each other.
Someone suddenly shouted, “Everyone, loold Caspian’s about to reach the top!”
Everyone’s attention was once again brought toward Caspian.
Caspian was only three steps away from reaching the top, while Gilbert and Nixon were ten steps and 16 steps away respectively.
“What’s wrong, head elder? Should I sponsor you some more herbs?” taunted Caspian.
“I don’t need your help!” said Nixon through clenched teeth.
He couldn’t bear it any longer as Caspian kept insulting him.
“Climb at your own pace, you two. I’m done playing with you both!” said Caspian as he turned
away.
He finally made the last step and reached the top of the Stairway to Enlightenment. Both Gilbert and Nixon were panicking as they watched the scene unfold before them.
